Yes that was a bit weird.... but I suppose it was a Tattoo magazine and their readers do need to see the tattoos. Some interesting stories though. Thanks for the scan, I would have felt weird buying that issue with my lack of tattoos!

Yes, why else do you think the Daily Mail sells?

To be fair, it's only really the arm-wrestling one (and that's at least partly Ginger's expression), but while I understand the need to show off the tats, apart from the one where Ginger looks a bit like Ronnie Wood, there isn't a single picture of either of the guys where their arms (where most of their work is) aren't either crossed or otherwise obscuring what they're supposed to be displaying.

Um, actually this feels a bit wrong. I'd rather see them with their shirts on, not oiled up like that (they are! look!). When Metal Hammer did the tattoo thing with Danny he was wearing a waistcoat as I recall so that got around it. I'd rather have seen Danny with no shirt on than Scott anyway but that's just personal preferance. Hmm. I wonder if Toshi has any tats?

The more I think about it yes, you're right.

Would anyone have a copy of said MH article? I'd like a peek.

Never mind oiled. In the pic on page three, Ginger looks like he was recently waxed...

Chest hair's merely a suggestion man. We're not all that lucky. Plus he said the Ramones tat was new, so he'd have had some shaving for that and no dude wants one hairy tit. When I got my chest done the hair in the area of the tattoo was shaved and the rest wasn't which, on an already not hairy person, resulted in a disconcerting dinner plate sized ring of hair...
